Arcades Sabboth was a huge, bright colored, Elder Dragon with pale wings, spawned by the Ur-Dragon. He was the first of the elders to name himself.[1]
History
Youth
Upon being spawned, he lost interest in the other elder dragons being born and went to investigate interesting human structures in the distance.[1] He got fascinated by the human society. He took up residence in a ring fort, where he was was worshipped by the humans as their "dragonlord". In return, he taught them "a better path of life, one ruled not just by their own primitive, violent tendencies."[2] Under the reign of Arcades, their realm dwelt in peace and order.
Elder Dragon War
Sabboth was one of the few victors of the Elder Dragon War, along with his brothers Ugin, Nicol Bolas and Chromium Rhuell, his sister Palladia-Mors and their cousin Vaevictis Asmadi.
Death
He was presumably killed by Kristina, in her duel with Leshrac.[3]
Controversy over Sabboth's death
There is a debate among storyline fans about when Arcades Sabboth died. Among the Elder Dragons that survived the War, only Nicol Bolas and Arcades Sabboth were Chromium's brothers. In prerevisionist sources, no other information on these two characters has been ever given, and it was argued that Leshrac would rather summon Bolas than Sabboth. However, in revisionist books we can learn that Nicol Bolas was alive at the time of the Summit on the Null Moon. Moreover, he is the only known Elder that became a planeswalker, so he could never be summoned by another. Thus, it is presumed that the Elder Dragon summoned by Leshrac and killed by Kristina is indeed Arcades Sabboth. The controversy stems from the conversation held in the conversation pictured on the right.
